Aiden, Ava and Addison top Ministry Baby Names in 2012

In just a few years, there will be a bunch of Aidens, Avas and Addisons in school hallways in Northern Wisconsin.

With 2012 behind us, Ministry Health Care hospitals have released their most popular names for babies this past year. Following up Aiden as the most popular boy’s names were Lucas and Mason. Emma and Abigail were other top names for girls. Mason and Lilly took top honors in 2011.

According to Marsha Wickham, Ministry Saint Mary’s Hospital director in patient care services, the vast majority of parents have names chosen for their babies before they are born, or have it narrowed down to 2 or three. If not, the Center has a wide array of “baby name” books that they can peruse.
